With growing network services such as HDTV, IPTV, voice-over-IP (VoIP) and Multimedia broadband applications, the demand of bandwidth rises quickly. The current Broadband environment has not already accorded with needing; the FTTH (fiber-to-the-home) would be the most promising NGN (Next Generation Networking) application to fulfill the demand.The PLANET Internet Fiber Router, FRT-40x series, provides office and residential users the ideal solution for sharing a high-speed fiber Internet connection and four 10/100Mbps Fast Ethernet backbone. The FRT-40x series is a perfect FTTH Digital Home Router which can provide very high performance access to Internet, both downstream and upstream up to 100Mbps through the fiber interface. For WAN connection, the FRT-40x series supports several common optical connectors including 100Base-BX, 100Base-LX, 100Base-FX and Small Form Factor Pluggable (SFP). The Fiber Router can be implemented easily for optical fiber deployment.The FRT-40x series provides QoS functions to enable smooth network services. Traffic priority can be assigned by the router to guarantee some important and specific transmissions, especially for real-time streaming multimedia applications such as the on-line gaming, VoIP, and IPTV to keep the bandwidth usage smoothly. Furthermore, the Fiber Router FRT-40x series not only provides basic router functions like DHCP server, Virtual Server, DMZ, and UPnP, but also features full firewall functions including Network Address Translation (NAT), IP / Port / MAC Filtering and Content Filtering. It serves as an Internet firewall to protect your network from being accessed by unauthorized users.     Application   Internet Connection with Fiber OpticThe FRT-40x series is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed Internet connection allowing multiple users to access the Internet simultaneously. With built-in 100Base-FX fiber interface, the FRT-40x series supports WAN distance up to 15~60 Km by working with different types of optic fiber connectors. The FRT-40x is the ideal solution for FTTH (Fiber-to-the-home) applications. It can handle multiple high-throughput services such as IPTV, on-line gaming, VoIP, Internet access and keep the bandwidth usage smoothly. The FRT-40x series also incorporates a 4-Port 10/100Base-TX switching hub, which makes it easily create or extend your LAN and prevents the attacks from Internet.
